Meditation for your all-round health

Stressed out? Waking with anxiety in the pit of your stomach? I recommend “The Relaxation Response,” by Herbert Benson, M.D. These are the words I center on while stretching my body and finding my inner voice:

Peace (harmony)
Clarity (mindfulness)
Enthusiasm (quiet energy)
Gratitude (blessings)
Justice (speak up)
Family (belonging)
Joy (in you)

Perhaps you’ve missed the daily spiritual discipline of prayer and meditation - well, this classic book adds new reasons: the health of your heart and brain, as well as your spirit. Blessings to you, my friend!
